TTC After a Loss

a public service for those checking betas next pregnancy

For anyone who is getting betas early in their pregnancy, the new literature says that even 50% rise is normal.

Take me for example.

13 dpo = 121

15 dpo = 206  (70% rise)

17 dpo = 311  (51% rise)

19 dpo = 503 (62% rise)

27 dpo = 7406 (almost 100% rise every 48h over last week)

Long and short of it.....I was worried over nothing (hopefully).  We saw cardiac activity yesterday and today (yes I can't help myself - my coworkers are dear people), so I am much more relieved now than before.

Don't freak if your betas do not double perfectly like we think they should!!!! 

Good luck loves!

  • This is part of the reason I'm torn over betas. I didn't do it last time, even though my doctor offered. I didn't need anything else to obsess over.

    Glad things are going well for you!

  • I didnt do it last time because my Dr wouldn't. I am pretty sure next time we will. I know they dont always mean anything, but I will feel good to see any increase over time. I know that sounds a lilttle silly. I am totally serious.

    And I am SO happy things are going well for you! Congrats again!

  • Congrats! I hope this pregnancy continues to go well for you!
  • My betas with my 1st mc nearly doubled every time (ex: 400-796) and I still mc. My 2nd mc I was about 50% each time and mc'ed so it is all relative. I will still get mine done next time and pray for doubling.
